OMINOUS TRANSPORTATION CRISIS
Out of every $5 Americans spend, $1 goes to transport
ourselves and our goods. Most of us think of the cost of
military defense as our nation's largest expenditure, but we
spend twice as much on transportation, bach year. thouEh.
the problems of the transportation Industry become more
acute and the headlines more ominous about our transport
system's lack of financial vitality.
Intimately involved in this situation is David I. Mackie,
chairman' of Eastern Railroad Presidents Conference. Here
are Mackie's answers to questions every informed person
might ask.
Porter: How much money could we save if our transport
system were healthy, and how costly to our nation is this
ailing industry?
Mackie: A study by the U.S. Dept. of Commerce stated
that "the annual transportation bill would be reduced by
several billions of dollars on freignt alone if competition,
rather than restraint, were the touchstone of regulation. As
for cost, an essential industry in the condition transportation
is today- is a significant drag on our economy. And our arti
fically provoked high transport costs could help price U.S.
goods out of world markets.
Porter: Just how bad is the present transportation situ
ation? Mackie: The problem is critical. It doesn't have the
dramatics of Soviet missiles in Cuba or the headline attrac
tion of a murder. It is more like a cancer, slowly gnawing
the patient to death. For instance, we've had a major rail
road go bankrupt and a major airline saved from the same
fate only by merger. In the last year for which figures are
available (1961), our domestic scheduled airlines in toto and
eastern railroads in toto operated at a loss. More of the
same could be ahead.
Porter: In the 17-page message President Kennedy sent
to Congress on transportation last April - the first such mes
sage in history - he diagnosed the disease and prescribed
remedies. Which of Kennedy's statements do you think are
most pertinent to the public?
Mackie: That "the pressing problems burdening our na
tional system" are "jeopardizing the progress and security
on which we depend." Also that these problems are pri
marily due to a "a chaotic patchwork of inconsistent and
often obsolete legislation and regulation (which) does not
fully reflect either the dramatic changes in technology of
the past half-century or the parallel changes in the struc
ture of competition."
Finally, most pertinent is the President's overall recom
mendation that what is needed is "greater reliance on the
forces of competition and less reliance on the restraints
of regulation" in federal control over transportation.
Porter: If railroads were given greater freedom to com
pete, what would that mean to the millions of us?
Mackie: Better service at lower cost. Today inconsistent
and obsolete regulation is rusting the rails, and so is govern
ment subsidy to our competitors. For instance, in this fiscal
year to end June 30, 1963, the federal government alone
will spend SS billion for highways, aviation and water trans
port more than half the annual gross operating revenues
of the nation's railroads. None of this government aid is
extended to railroads. If railroad competitors were to pay
their share for the use they made of such government-provided
facilities, every American would pay less in taxes.
Porter: What are the odds on fixing up the regulatory
and subsidy "patchwork" and ending the Uansportation crisis?
Mackie: It is probable that President Kennedy will re
peat his recommendations of last April to the new Congress.
Consumers then should urge congressional apnrov?l of
his proposals, if only because they'll benefit via lower trans
portation charges and lower taxes.
The alternative to no Congressional action undoubtedly
will be more'and more bankrupt carriers and quite possibly,
in the end, government ownership and operation of our
transportation system. If that day ever comes, the political
pork barrel will be wide open.

Heartburn
Many persons suffer at
times from a burning and per
haps painful distress in the
depth of their
chest cavity.
Often they
will notice
that it follows
the eating of
certain foods,
or the drink
ing of certain
drinks, or the
smoking of a
certain brand
Alvares
of tobacco. It can also follow
a blow-up of temper. I remem
ber men who told me that
when they lost their temper
they were "on fire" for four
or five days afterwards. The
tendency to the disease is def
initely inherited. Fortunately,
it never "turns into" anything
terrible; it seems to be a dis
ease all by itself. Even when
a man with heartburn has an
ulcer, the surgical removal of
that ulcer is not likely to re
lieve the heartburn. Some
women have severe heartburn
during some of their pregnan
cies. Heartburn tends to come
in spells of a few days, and
then it may go away for a
month or more. It has nothing
to do with the heart; it is due
to the regurgitation of acid
gastric juice into an overly
sensitive gullet. Ages ago, peo
ple started calling it heart
burn, probably because it was
a burning distress that came
back of the heart.
Many patients with this
trouble have told me that
when the burning is present,
the best treatment is to take
little sodium bicarbonate
and dissolve it in a third of
a glass of water and to sip
that. When this washes the
acid out of their gullet, they
are comfortable.
Leg Cramps and Restless Legs
So many people past middle
age keep asking me what to
do for leg cramps at night
that I feel compelled to say
here every so often that the
best medicine I have found
to keep away my own leg
cramps is drinking a glass of
milk every day. This supplies
the calcium (lime salts) which
we all need to keep our mus
cles from getting overly irritable.
When people say, "Sorry, I
can't' drink milk," I advise
the taking at bedtime of a
tablespoonful of the syrup of
Neo-Calglucon. Many physi
cian give five grains of qui
nine for the cramps and some
people tell me that this some
times works.
For years I have tried to
find some drug that will re
lieve the "restless legs" that
cause so many highly nervous
people to spend one miserable
night after another. Some few
cannot sit for long during the
day. Now one of my friends
who has suffered greatly from
restless legs tells me that half
a capsule of Gopavin (o n e-
quarter grain of codeine with
one-quarter grain of papavar-
ine) will give her a good
night's rest. I had given her
the Copavin to quiet an irrita
ble bowel, and now, to her
great ioy, she finds that it
is also a good quieter of her
legs.
I hope that many people
with "restless legs" will get
their home doctor to try the
Copavin usually given to
abort colds and then will
write to me at Box 957, Des
Moines 4, Iowa, to tell me if
it works for tnem.
Millions of people who go
to a doctor thinking they are
seriously and dangerously ill
are suffering only from nerv
ousness. You may obtain a
copy of Dr. Alvarez' booklet,
"Triumph Over Nervousness,"
by sending 25 cents and a
stamped, self-addressed enve
lope with your request to Dr.

Gilds T. - I'm hurt that he
never told me about Nan
ette.
Ronald T. - She's letting a
troublemaker upset her over
nothing.
Gilda T. - Last week a cirl
who belonged to the same so
cial club as I did, before my
marriage, stopped into see
me on her way to Oregon. 1
hadn't seen her for nine years
dui she was still very chic
and attractive. She had just
been divorced and was bound
lor her sister's home and an
introduction to a marriage
able neighbor.
Over coffee she let me
know that Ronny had pro
posed to her several times,
and that he only asked me
to marry him after he was
sure he could never have her.
She tried to make it sound
as though she was sorry now,
and as though I was the luck
ier girl.
Ronny admits this now. He
says all the boys took turns
proposing to Nanette, but
most of them were kidding,
including him. I can't believe
that. And I'm hurt to learn
I wasn't his first love.
Ronald T. - Nanette is just
a trouble-maker and always
was. She has plenty of wiles
and they worked on 19-year-
old boys. I was one of the
kids she thought she could
wind around her fingers. It's
true I asked her to marry me.
I was 21 at the tme. And I
know now that if she'd said
yes, I'd have wriggled out of
it all by the time I was 22.
That's when I met Gilda and
learned the difference be
tween a silly infatuation and
the real thing. Fortunately
Nanette said no, and made
things easy for me.
I can't see why hearing
about tliis now should upset
Gilda. I never told her that
episode because I wasn't
proud of it and I didn't think
it had anything to do with our
love for each other. What dif
ference can something that's
over and done with, make
now?
The- Councili Lookee, Gil
da. Are you bored or some
thing? Trying to stir up a
utile excitement irom a deaa
bonfire? No matter how
much you fan it, Ronald's old
flame will still come out a
dud!
All that' Nanette was re
vealing was that she'd missed
the boat and she's sorry. Here
she Is, nine years later, with
her life still on the turbulent
and worried side. And here
are you two - the man she
says she could have had, and
the girl who has him.

Clackamas Dog
Racing Proposed
Portland -IUPII- Dave Funk,
operator of dog tracks in
Arizona and Florida and di
rector of horse racing at Port
land Meadows for five years,
has proposed to the Portland
Racing Commission a plan for
dog racing in Clackamas coun
ty. Funk outlined plans for a
covered track and enclosed
stands.
Ed Latourctte, of the Clack
amas County Commission,
said the letter had been for
warded to him, but no action
was immediately taken on
Funk's proposal.
Gilda, was some of the old
time inferiority complex
whenever nervy, assured
NflnnttA urn nrniinrl fiiirfflv
you don't consider her a riv
al at this late date? If you do,
Ronald's version of the old
"affair" should reassure you.
Evidently Nanette has
need for raking up the dead
coals of the past, for there
lie her days of shining glory.
Gilda has no such need. Her
present and future are bright
enough.
We leave Gilda with this
piece of wisdom formulated
by a happily-married woman
after a similar encounter with
one of her husband's former
loves. "It's not so important
to be the first woman in a
man's life. What really counts
is to be the last."
